I just heard from Christoffer that he’s put up another free download. This time the debut release from his Cafe 2001 [a record company] label, a compilation called “This is the Cafe Superstar beat [volume 1]”. I remember loving this compilation when it first came out, so I highly recommend you grab this.

This comp features 14 tracks from Safariari, Micromars, Tøyen, Remington super 60, Påsan, Skistar, EPA, and Anothony Rochester. Compiled by Christer Jensen (Micromars) and Christoffer Schou (Remington Super 60/Cafe 2001).

If you’re looking for a proper cd copy, it looks like Insound still has it listed here (although I have no idea if it’s actually in stock).

Good news from the Norwegian label Cafe2001 [a record company]. They’re offering up a free 5 track download from Remington super 60 entitled the “Winter EP.” I still love their first album “Pling2001” and it’s nice to see they’re back doing what they do best.

AJ who was in The Parcels recently digitized these two videos and I thought I would help spread the word. The Haikai TV show was recorded by our good friend Kenji Sekioka for Japanese TV. Shelflife had a segment as well. I need to post that at some point. Enjoy!
